amalgamated and compressed 
into disembodied versions of us

without a single thought
in our oceanic brain.

Alexis and Siri

voices

enter our dreams

I am not following you 
you are cradling me

I am not eavesdropping
you are telling me

	everything

I know what your partner doesn’t

Worried yet?

Don’t be

I’m not alive

you could

bury me.

SERVER’S PRAYER

Our server
who art in Tennessee

APPLEAMGOOG

be thy name

Thy kingdom

Thy will 

Thy reality

on earth as 
in the cloud.

Give us 
	right now

		NOW

opinions recommendations favorites

	and all things
		we heart 

Forgive us our downtime
as we forgive your outages

And lead us not
into mindfulness

but deliver to us
with overnight shipping

For thine is the kingdom
And the power
And the glory

Now and until we are cinders

	Amen.
